673.Vegan Mixed Berries Ice Cream

Just the right time to have ice cream

It has been really hot for the past few days in Montreal. Its humid and just the kind of weather all Canadians enjoy. People are out walking, jogging, having picnics, swimming, sailing, lazing in the sun. Hubby and I want to be indoors as the sun is too much for us. My dad is here, his first visit to Canada. He is from London, so he too is enjoying the really sunny hot days. When I run for the shade, he thinks I'm mad. So I had to remind him that I get more than enough sun back home in Mombasa, so I'd rather enjoy the cool or cold weather. Anyway, its the right theme that Sarah Ellis has chosen for this months Fantastical Food Fight. The theme is Ice Cream. I went through so many options to make the ice cream for this theme, but the abundance of berries just kept on beckoning me. A couple of weeks ago, we saw this documentary on veganism. I'm not totally convinced to give up my dairy products...love cheese and yogurt too much. But the paradox is that my meat eating hubby decides not to became a vegetarian only but also decides to become a vegan!!!!!!!!! Yes, you heard me right; I'm still so so surprised. My chicken loving daughter too is trying out to go the vegan way! I'm a vegetarian, and now both are trying to convince me to become a vegan. My argument is that if Lord Krishna loved all dairy products right from butter to yogurt... it surely can't be harmful. However, everyone has the freedom to make their own choice. Now that father and daughter have found a new common passion-vegan-- he was complaining that I was not making enough vegan food for him. On a serious note, most of our basic Gujarati food is vegan except that some food may contain yogurt. Keeping in mind my vegan hubby(and his snide remarks!), I decided against the rich creamy ice creams and decided on a vegan one. I'm glad I tried out this ice cream simply for the reason that its a guilt free and healthy dessert. And I love the beautiful colour that the berries have imparted to this delicious ice cream.

I have been vegan for medication purposes for almost six months and I don't want to comment on it. Like you mentioned, it is personal belief, but I came back to my normal eating habits and mentally I am happy. Hehe... I love this "nice cream", it feels more like sorbet, but definitely much healthier, isn't it?

mixed berries in anything is a delight. This reminds me I had made frozen banana ice cream once and never occured it is vegan! :-) Vegan and gluten free is something I learnt through blogs... :-) Goodluck with the new vegan family and no, I can never give up yogurt. :-P
